True man's watch:

[Wildwing]

A woman wearing a man's watch does not suddenly make that size a watch for women. If a few men decide to wear womens' underwear, it does not suddenly make it underwear for men. Get it?

The 36 mm is still a man's watch.

I like that analogy. But of course I only wear mens underwear (not sure why they have all those frilly bits)

[rolexgiants]

i have been saying for a long time that a 36mm is a womans size watch... and i thank rolex for confirming this in the press kit released at basel this year....

[AJF]

Rolex are advertising the new 36 mm DJ releases at Basel 2009, as being geared towards female buyers.

At no point in the press release do they state that they are rebranding all 36 mm Rolex DJ's as ladies sized watches.

AJF.

[rolexgiants]

i own 2 datejusts... i guess i should start saying that I have 2 ladies watches in my collection...lol

At the same time Rolex advertise the DSSD as a Commercial Saturation Divers Watch yet people who don't make a living in offshore diving still buy them.

Incidentally North Sea Saturation Divers think people who live on so-called main street and wear commercial divers watches are sad losers. The words or phrases that come up on a regular basis are Walter Mitty's, pathetic and posers.

Not name calling, I am simple informing you what the real people who the SD and DSSD was designed for think.

I like the look of a 36mm on a lady, just make sure you can take enough links outs so the bracelet does not get stretched. If you ket her have that watch, sounds like reason enough to pick yourself up a new watch!

Mistake!

She's not going to give it back

It's official then, we should change monikers for these two pieces:

Day Date is "the First Lady"

Day DateII is "the President"

She wears all of my watches I put a nato on a 5513 to make it easy for us but as luck would have it she doesnt like the nato...............lol She doesnt like bling much so she will get over the YG Prez quick I think.

Agreed!

[JJ Irani]

The way I look at it.....

Small wrist - 36 mm

Large wrist - 40 mm

End of story - JJ

[Art 1]

A lady can sure wear one is she chooses but it is a mans watch.

[Perdu]

Got to admire her strategy.

The Rolex press kit does not claim that 36mm is a "woman's size."

[flyback]

Did you?

It's pretty bogus to go around misrepresenting the press release, when you know only about 1% of the readers will actually check to see if what you're claiming is true.

The press release refers specifically to the eight new 36mm Datejusts with gem-set bezels as being for "ladies," not to 36mm Datejusts in general.

To wit:

"Created sixty years ago, the Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolesor is the world’s most recognized and recognizable watch, if not the standard-bearer of an art de vivre. Impervious to the vagaries of fashion, it remains eternally modern. And the new Datejust II Rolesor for men and the Datejust Rolesor 36 mm for ladies, with gem-set bezel, are the proof."

And later, in the section on the new gem-set 36mm Datejusts:

"The new Oyster Perpetual Datejust Rolesor, in this resolutely feminine version, continues the tradition. Timeless companion of women who are both sure of themselves and their aesthetic preferences, it is entirely adaptable to every attitude, occasion and lifestyle.

"THE CASE The 36 mm case combines optimal comfort and elegant refinement. Waterproof to a depth of 100 metres (330 feet), it now, for the first time, features a bezel set with brilliant-cut diamonds.

"THE MOVEMENT The Datejust is equipped with a movement entirely designed and manufactured by Rolex. It is chronometer-certified by the Swiss Official Chronometer Testing Institute (COSC) and has a power reserve of 48 hours.

"THE DIAL The dials combine a spirit of classic refinement and creative reverie.

"THE BRACELET The Datejust is available on an Oyster bracelet fitted with an Oysterclasp and Easylink extension link, or a Jubilee bracelet with a Crownclasp. Both features ensure optimal wearer comfort and the perfect finishing touch."

Then follows the section titled "OYSTER PERPETUAL DATEJUST ROLESOR 36 MM DESCRIPTIONS OF THE MODELS" which lists only the eight new diamond-bezeled 36mm Datejusts released at the show, references 116243-72603, 116244-63600, 116243-63603, 116244-72600, 116243-72603, 116244-63600, 116243-63603 and 116244-72600.

Again, the press release says nothing categorical about the 36mm size. It is only a description of the eight new ladies' models. Let's put this claim to rest.

[WJGESQ]

These days, 36mm seems pretty small. Aren't all the new rolex models going in a bigger direction?

Thank you, Larry. And they have all those frilly bits to keep us interested, after all.
